Grand Jury Fails to
Find True Bill
Albemarle, N.C., Nov. 18—The high sheriff conspiracy,
baleful ghost that haunted the preliminary hearing of the various defendants
now on trial in Superior Court here, charged with conspiracy to break laws
inciting to riot and various other things, set out in a 2,000 word bill of
indictment, is laid out.
Solicitor W.E. Brock presented a bill to the grand jury
based on evidence offered by counsel for defense of Marvin L. Ritch, J.H.
Graham and some other 30 members of the local textile union. This bill charged
certain officers of the town, together with the mayor and practically every
employee of the mills who is not a laborer, with conspiracy to break up a
peaceful meeting. The second count charges breaking up the meeting. The grand
jury did not find a true bill.
